Goodbye my dearest J

[marigold6]

Though I am not there to look at your sweet face one more time, my spirit is there across the miles to be with you. You will always be in my heart and my memories. I'm still trying to process no more physical you, but angel you is here and with us all at this moment. May you have lots of kitties to cuddle and follow you forever. Rest your little body and be free. I love you my Wee One - you were truly lit by a candle flame. xoxo

Some people are so special that once they enter your life, it becomes richer and fuller and more wonderful than you ever thought it could be...Anonymous

A funeral playlist

[reason_says]

Because my mind works better when I can process emotions through existing songs, I made a funeral playlist for Jason. The first two songs were played at his funeral, and the rest either express my feelings or remind me of him, or both.

In Memory of Jason (.zip format, 41MB)

Embrace - I Had A Time
Vienna Teng - Harbor
Abed & Troy - Somewhere Out There
Coldplay - Talk
Anthony Rapp - Without You
Blue October - Everlasting Friend
Assassins Soundtrack - Something Just Broke
The Louvin Brothers - My Baby’s Gone
Third Eye Blind - Danger
Feeder - Comfort In Sound

everything i need (the air i breathe)

Today, as you probably know, was Jason's funeral. Part of me finds it bitterly ironic that today is More Joy Day, and yet it's so fitting a send off to someone who radiated joy.

I want to thank those of you who came to the funeral and those who sent flowers or made donations. The flowers were beautiful and the undertaker will be putting the cards from them into a book of remembrance for me which I will treasure. It was a lovely service and celebration of a beautiful life that ended too soon. Jason's father and brother both made loving eulogies, as did I.

I wanted to share mine with those of you who couldn't be there today.

Our beautiful girlfriend, Rhiannon, could not be there today but she sent me her own eulogy for Jason and has said I can post it here too.

( he taught me about love )

The minister read a beautiful poem which I will ask him to send me so I can share it with you, too. If you want to listen to them, the songs that played were Harbor by Vienna Teng and I Had A Time by Embrace. I'll be given his ashes soon and I'm making plans on what to do with them that I'll share with you another time.

Thank you for all the loving tributes posted here so far and for all of your support and prayers ♥
